Purdue vs UConn National Championship Prediction: Can Tristen Newton, Huskies Put Up Points in Arizona?
The No. 1 seed Purdue Boilermakers take on the overall No. 1 seed UConn Huskies tonight in Phoenix, Arizona for the National Title. Winner takes all as UConn is looking for back-to-back titles tonight in what could be coach Dan Hurley's last game as the head coach as he is rumored to go to Kentucky. All that aside, I have a pick on the total tonight, let's lock in.

PURDUE VS. UCONN PREDICTION
Tonight, we are going to lock in Purdue versus UConn under 145 points tonight. Both of these teams average over 80+ points a game yet the total is kind of low for these two. Both teams matchup fairly well as Purdue finally has to face a big man that can guard center Zach Edey. How will they adjust, and will this impact Purdue's scoring? Absolutely it will.
When it comes to pace, both teams play fairly slow, and especially UConn who will be taking control of this game and slowing it down. They will not let Purdue get out and run like they like to do at times as their transition defense is top-notch. Tristen Newton and this UConn defense is one of the best in the nation, and I think that this will be a slow paced game as both teams will look for not good shots, but great shots. The total has been stemmed down a little since the line opened, but I still like the number that it currently is.
Take Purdue and UConn under 145 points tonight! Let's cash!
